If your dad was flying an A-10 in Vietnam, it must have been undercover, DEEP undercover! The first unit received the A-10 in 1976, AFTER Saigon capitulated on April 30, 1975. I believe the USAF used the A-1 Skyraider during Vietnam for CAS.

Ooops! You're right. It was the A-1. Dad's gone to his heavenly reward and wasn't available to ask. Thanks.

When he got back to the states, he continued as an instructor for F-4 Phantoms.
